From BooklistThe whole plot of the book sounded interesting, but I didn't enjoy the book too much. It was too scattered and felt like a "hoo, any-how, just get through it!" type of book.
Prim and proper preschool teacher Lizzie Brown is on the verge of her thirtieth birthday when her hitherto unknown grandmother shows up, quickly followed by a demon erupting out of her toilet who Lizzie surprisingly manages to blast into “a million flecks of light.” Raised by distant adoptive parents, Lizzie had no idea that she was born to be a demon slayer. Her granny, a biker who communes with spirits in a metal lawn shed, then takes her to join her coven of senior biker witches who will help her defeat the demons who want to kill Lizzie before she can go after them. Along the way, Lizzie meets sexy shape-shifter Dimitri Kallinkikos, a sometime griffin who claims to be her protector but may have a hidden agenda that will take her straight to hell. This rollicking paranormal comedy will appeal to fans of Dakota Cassidy, MaryJanice Davidson, and Tate Hallaway. --Diana Tixier Herald
Right, the premise: Lizzie (Elizabeth), kindergarten schoolteacher, is a very uptight person. She likes to plan ahead. She likes order. She likes things to be as they should be. And just one day her biker grandma pops up at her doorstep and she starts to run around tackling demons, talking with her dog Pirate, and eventually running into hell. oh yeah.
Like I said, the whole plot was interesting enough.
I enjoyed the parts where Pirate talked. That is one funny dog. "I can only count to four, so I had to go one two three four, and then one, and then two," etc....
I just didn't like the inside, how the story progressed. Everything seemed a bit too... casual. I don't know how to explain it... it was just going too fast? Probably the problem is just me, and that's why I'm not giving it a too-low rating. Three out of five stars, thanks.
